Steadily the summer vacationers are pouring into the city, and thousands of them who have been surviving on tne rare of a small summer resort hotel do not delay an instant on their return to the city to drive to their favorite rrxtaurant and get what they call a "civilized meal." To be sure, the meal generally consists of some of the most expensive and Indigestible things on the bUl of fare, and for those who have been summering In a prohibition town there is of course a little rare old wine ordered by way of celebratibn.

The plan is cruel but effective. When the self-invited guests arrive thev are served a luncheon of salt beef, salt fish and hsrdtack. They eat little. At ngnt tne name dishes are set before them and they eat less. But the host by no means starves for he eats a good Square meal on the sly.

The Alien Curtis comedy company will present a musical comedy at the Oflks this week commencing Monday night entitled "The School Girl."
